Today’s voyage through National Hockey League history will be a long one as it begins in the first season played and finishes in 2020. In the over 100 years of memories made on this date, we saw hat tricks, plenty of assists, goaltending milestones and a whole slew of big moments. Let’s get our journey
NHL Playoffs
The Montréal Canadiens started the season as one of the North Division’s best teams, storming out of the gate with a 6-1-1 record, and recording a series of dominating performances against the Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks. The games against the Canucks were particularly impressive, outscoring them 29-15, including a 7-3 drubbing on Jan. 21.
The Nashville Predators are off to a poor start, and the fanbase isn’t happy about it. Rightly or wrongly, a lot of the blame seems to be pointed at head coach John Hynes. However, even when it’s not the coach’s fault, sometimes a change is needed to shake things up and put a different voice
The Nashville Predators have had a disappointing start to the season to say the least, just one point ahead of the Detroit Red Wings in the Central Division and 26th in the league by points percentage. It’s still relatively early but the team is about 10 points out of the playoff hunt with less than
Dominik Kahun stepped to the forefront in the Edmonton Oilers’ come-from-behind 4-3 victory over the host Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Arena on Tuesday night. The 25-year-old left-winger scored twice and had a chance at the hat trick when he was on the ice in the dying seconds with Vancouver’s net empty, as Edmonton coach Dave
Kirill Kaprizov has been one of the best forwards for the Minnesota Wild this season after finally making his NHL debut. Victor Rask has arguably just played his best string of games since he stepped on the ice for the Wild following the one-for-one trade that sent Nino Niederreiter to the Carolina Hurricanes. Mats Zuccarello
If you’re reading this, you’re probably already aware that hockey is the undisputed best sport on the planet. But if you really need some extra convincing, here’s a list of ten things (in no particular order) that make hockey the greatest sport on Earth: 1. It’s Played on a Giant Sheet of Ice Football, basketball,
The Atlanta Thrashers/Winnipeg Jets franchise is a fairly young organization, having been in existence since just the 1999-00 season when the team underwent its inception into the NHL. As a result, you can probably guess that not many goaltenders have found their way passing through Atlanta or Winnipeg during those years and that their all-time
The last two first-round drafts for the Winnipeg Jets were on full display in the American Hockey League last night. Also, a hometown kid made a big splash in his first professional game. Finally, the Western Hockey League (WHL) is gearing up to start play and one of its top teams has named its leadership
The Vancouver Canucks have played a lot better in recent weeks, the only problem being they’ve been unable to pull out wins. Through 22 games, the Canucks have an 8-12-2 record, which puts them in sixth place in the North Division. They also have the fifth-worst point percentage in the league at .409. Through four
When you think of American hockey, the name Mike Modano is practically a synonym. The Michigan native went on to collect records and accolades throughout his career that have yet to be matched by an American player. For nearly two decades in the NHL, he was a star – in more ways than one. As
The Florida Panthers played back-to-back games against the Detroit Red Wings on Friday and Saturday night, splitting them with one win and one loss. The team looked very different between the two, as in game one, they tormented their weaker opponents, while in the second game, they got outplayed heavily for the majority of the
When Jake McCabe fell to the ice and grabbed his right leg, he may have also been letting go of his time with the Buffalo Sabres. The alternate captain clutched Cody Eakin and Kyle Okposo as he coasted off the ice and hobbled to the dressing room during the third period of his team’s Saturday’s
We’re back with a prospect update, and what a week it was for some of the Anaheim Ducks’ prospects! Trevor Zegras earned a call-up to the NHL, and Jamie Drysdale continued his blistering start to professional hockey. Plus, Artyom Galimov is at it again with the highlight-reel plays. It’s time to recap and analyze their performances.
Coming off a week of rest due to COVID-19 protocols, the Colorado Avalanche returned to the ice this week for a three-game series against the second place Vegas Golden Knights, in perhaps their most crucial series yet. The series included a special outdoor game at Lake Tahoe that brought a dazzling landscape to an already gratifying
There’s an old trick called controlling the narrative. Basically, you tell the story before someone else does. It’s time for the Toronto Maple Leafs to take control of the narrative around William Nylander. Or perhaps they already have? Questions surround William Nylander after being benched (Jess Starr/The Hockey Writers) A few weeks ago, the Toronto
In this edition of Toronto Maple Leafs News & Rumors, I’ll look at some of the events occurring around the team including a note about William Nylander’s benching for the last 8:45 in the third period Saturday. I’ll also share a trade rumor that didn’t go anywhere. I’ll share the story about how Jumbo Joe
When the Buffalo Sabres were forced to put their season on pause for a two-week hiatus after an outbreak of COVID-19 following a weekend series with the New Jersey Devils, fans waited each day to hear which players and staff had entered the NHL’s COVID protocol and who had tested positive.
